This project makes a substantial impact on the most active commercial corridor in Southwest Detroit. Built in 1923, the historic Ferndale Apartments contains 34 apartment units and 8 commercial units, including the new 7,500 square foot Campbell branch of the Detroit Public Library. Careful attention was paid to preserving the original character of the building, while at the same time appealing to the modern needs of potential tenants. The building is designated historic by the State of Michigan.
